I am using scroller genie anchored to a page element so that i get proper positioning in a centered layout. To prevent the visible position shift on page load from the fixed position to the anchored position i hid all the scroller layers and afterwards i applied the hide/show layers behavior so that the scroller gets visible only AFTER it gets its proper position on the page on load. The problem is that this routine does not work with firefox. In ie and opera, the position shift is not visible, but in firefox, it remains there and i still see the scroller position shift on page load/reload. Any idea how to get around this?

No, that's not normal. I merely suggested the other route because it might save us both some time trying to debug this Firefox thing.

But maybe if you can point me to an URL where the problem is showing, I can have a quick look for you.

ok, so what i am supposed to do is this?
1. remove the anchor so that the scroller is no longer anchored to anything
2. switch to code view and take everything from &lt;!-- Start Scroller Genie. Do NOT change these element ID's --&gt; up to the end of the last /div and move it to a table cell where i want the scroller to be located in
3. change css property of #dmxscroller, change position absolute to position relative and remove the top and left position atributes

is that all or am i missing something??

No, that should be it.
Let me know if it doesn't work for you.
